Rivers in North America - North American Rivers, Major Rivers in Canada Us Mexico - Worldatlas.com Rivers in North America - North American Rivers, Major Rivers in Canada Us Mexico Ohio: Formed by the confluence of the Allegheny and Monongahela rivers in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, the Ohio flows generally southwest. It forms the natural borders of Ohio and West Virginia, Ohio and Kentucky, as well as parts of the borders of Indiana, Illinois and Kentucky. It empties into the Mississippi River at the Illinois border and is (975 miles) (1,569 km) long. Rio Grande: It is one of the longest rivers in North America at (1,885 miles) (3,034 km). It begins in the San Juan Mountains of southern Colorado, then flows south through New Mexico. It forms the natural border between Texas and the country of Mexico as it flows southeast to the Gulf of Mexico. In Mexico it is known as Rio Bravo del Norte. Used for drinking water by both countries, the river is becoming more polluted as population centers that dot the river grow in size, and then dump sewage and pesticides into the water. St.

Lawrence: This river flows northeast out of Lake Ontario and on into the Gulf of St. Lawrence. It's (760 miles) (1,225 km) in length and permits the passage of deep-water ships between the Atlantic Ocean and the Great Lakes. It includes a series of man-made canals, locks and dams, and is considered one of the most vital shipping routes on the planet. Additional details on the St. Lawrence River and the Great Lakes. Yukon: It begins in the southwestern edge of the Yukon Territory of Canada, and then flows northwest across the border into Alaska. This massive river continues southwest across central Alaska, ending at the Bering Sea. Even at a length of (1,265 miles) (2.035 km), most of it is navigable, however, it remains frozen from October through mid-June. Yukon | Article about Yukon by The Free Dictionary Yukon | Article about Yukon by The Free Dictionary Related to Yukon: Yukon River Yukon, territory (2001 pop. 28,674), 207,076 sq mi (536,327 sq km), NW Canada.

Geography and Climate The triangle-shaped territory is bordered on the N by the Beaufort Sea of the Arctic Ocean, on the E by the Northwest Territories, on the S by British Columbia and Alaska, and on the W by Alaska. The highest point in Yukon is Mt. Logan Logan, Mount, 19,551 ft (5,959 m) high, in Kluane National Park, extreme SW Yukon, Canada, just E of Alaska; highest mountain in Canada and second highest in North America. One of the St. Elias Mts. ..... Click the link for more information. , 19,551 ft (5,959 m) high, in the St. Elias Mts. in the southwest. Although most of Yukon is a watershed for the Yukon River and its tributaries, the northern and southeastern regions drain east into the Mackenzie River system. Immediately south of the desolate arctic coast the country is uninhabited and generally unknown. The other parts of the territory have great natural beauty, with snow-fed lakes backed by perpetually white-capped mountains and forests and streams abounding with wildlife.

Kluane National Park (8,499 sq mi/22,013 sq km; est. 1972) in SW Yukon includes Mt. Logan and extensive ice fields; it abuts parks in British Columbia and Alaska. Winters are long and cold, with low humidity. During the short summers the longer day and surprisingly warm sun bring a profusion of wildflowers and enable the hardier grains and vegetables to mature. The few settlements are situated on the riverbanks. The capital and largest town is Whitehorse Whitehorse, city (1991 pop. 17,925), S Yukon, Canada, on the Yukon River. Since 1952 it has been the territorial capital. Whitehorse is on the Alaska Highway and was the terminus of the White Pass and Yukon Railway from Skagway, Alaska, which suspended service in 1982. .....

Next in importance is Dawson Dawson or Dawson City, city (1991 pop. 972), W Yukon, Canada, at the confluence of the Yukon and Klondike rivers.

It is the trade center of the Klondike mining region and a tourist center. ..... Click the link for more information. . Economy Yukon's leading industry by far is mining; lead, zinc, silver, gold, and copper are the principal minerals. Tourism is the second most important industry; the area's colorful history and beautiful scenery draw visitors. Manufacturing has increased in importance, with such products as furniture, clothing, and handicrafts. There are hydroelectric facilities at Whitehorse, Aishihik, and Mayo. Trapping, the oldest industry, has declined in recent decades. Fishing is relatively unimportant. Transportation facilities are limited. For many years the Yukon River system was the main artery. The White Pass and Yukon Railway, between Whitehorse and Skagway, Alaska, built during the Klondike gold rush of the 1890s, now handles only excursion traffic. The Alaska Highway and other all-weather roads have been built since World War II. Air transportation now plays a vital role, and there is an international airport at Whitehorse.

History and Government The territory's history began with the explorations in the 1840s of Robert Campbell and John Bell, fur traders for the Hudson's Bay Company. Several trading posts were built on the Yukon River, and before long prospectors began to search for treasure. The Canadian government acquired the territory from the Hudson's Bay Company in 1870 and administered it as part of the Northwest Territories. After the famous gold strikes in the Klondike River region in the 1890s, thousands of fortune hunters arrived in search of gold. This colorful period was recorded in the writings of Robert Service and Jack London. To meet the need for local government created by the influx of prospectors, Yukon was made a separate district (1895) and then a separate territory (1898) with Dawson as capital. Whitehorse became the capital in 1952. Native land claims and the desire for provincial status are two issues that have dominated territorial politics in recent years. The land claim by the Yukon, a tribe of about 7,000, was approved by the federal government in 1991.

In 2003, a revised Yukon Act increased the territorial government's powers, giving it control over public land and natural resources. The government consists of a federally appointed commissioner, an elected legislative assembly of 18 members, and a 5-member cabinet appointed by the majority party of the assembly. Dennis Fentie led the conservative Yukon party to victory in the 2002 assembly elections, ousting the governing Liberal party; Fentie's government retained power after the 2006 elections. In 2011 Fentie was replaced as Yukon party leader and as premier by Darrell Pasloski, and the party won a third term in offce later in the year. The territory sends one senator and one representative to the national parliament. Bibliography See K. J. Rea, The Political Economy of the Canadian North (1968); E. A.

Yukon (yo͞o`kŏn), river, c.2,000 mi (3,220 km) long, rising in Atlin Lake, NW British Columbia, Canada, and receiving numerous headwater streams; one of the longest rivers of North America. It flows generally northwest, into Yukon past Dawson and across the Alaska border, to Fort Yukon, thence generally southwest through central Alaska until, in a wide swing north, it enters Norton Sound of the Bering Sea through a delta that is 60 mi (97 km) wide. Its chief tributaries are the Teslin, Pelly, White, Stewart, Porcupine, Tanana, and Koyukuk rivers. The river is incised in the Yukon Plateau; marshy land borders much of its upper course.

The Yukon is navigable for river boats three months of the year to Whitehorse, c.1,775 mi (2,860 km) upstream. The Yukon basin is one of the most sparsely populated and least developed regions of North America. Much of its history, exploration, and development centers on the river system. Its lower reaches were explored (1836–37, 1843) by Russians, and in 1843 Robert Campbell of the Hudson's Bay Company explored the upper course. During the Klondike gold rush (1897–98) the Yukon was a major route to the gold fields. Greater development of the basin occurred in the mid-1900s due to its strategic location, and several military installations were later built. The Yukon River is a major salmon-spawning ground, and salmon fishing is an important seasonal activity. The Yukon is used to generate hydroelectricity, but it remains one of the greatest undeveloped hydroelectric resources in North America. On the river's banks are fur-trading posts, missions, native villages, and towns with modern airports serving vast areas.

Yukon Parks Yukon a river in Canada and the United States (Alaska). The Yukon is 3,700 km long and drains an area of 855,000 sq km. Its sources are in the mountains bordering the Yukon Plateau in the southeast. The principal source is the Lewes River, which originates in the Cordilleras. The Yukon empties into Norton Sound of the Bering Sea, forming a delta. Its principal tributaries are the Tanana (on the left) and the Pelly, Porcupine, and Koyukuk (on the right). The Yukon flows in a deep mountain valley, sometimes through canyons, until its confluence with the Pelly. More than one-half of its entire course flows across plains, where its valley reaches 30 km in width. The river is fed primarily by snow. High water occurs in May and June. The water level in the lower course rises 15–20 m above the low stage level. Ocean tides penetrate the river 160 km upstream.

The average discharge at the city of Eagle is 2,500 cu m per sec, and at the mouth, 6,500 cu m per sec. The river has considerable hydroelectric power potential (3 gigawatts in the Canadian part), which is little used. It is navigable from May to September for a distance of 3,200 km, from the Whitehorse Rapids to the mouth. There are major landings at Koyukuk and Tanana in Alaska and at Whitehorse and Dawson in Canada.

Tagish Lake along our tour route, Klondike Highway (Highway 2), in Yukon Territory in Northwest Canada. It is the headwater of the great Yukon River which is the longest river in Alaska, USA and in Yukon Territory in Northwest Canada. This 2,300-mile river starts here in Yukon, then flows through Alaska and empties into Bering Sea. Yukon means "Great River". 山體陡峭，雄峻挺拔， 冰雪覆蓋，雲蒸霞蔚， 洪荒神秘的境界。 Mountains along our 8-hour Excursion Tour from coastal town of Skagway in Alaska, USA through British Columbia in Canada into Yukon Territory in northwest Canada. The Sapphire Princess Cruise ship docked at Skagway harbor for 13 hours on August 12, 2009 so that we can take this 8-hour Yukon Expedition & White Pass Scenic Railway into Yukon. The outgoing trip in the morning was on a motor coach along Klondike Highway and the return trip in the afternoon was on a train along the historic narrow-gauge White Pass & Yukon Route Railway.

This tour route traces steps of gold rush stampeders along the Trail of ‘98 (i.e., 1898) from coastal town of Skagway in Alaska, USA through British Columbia into Yukon towards Klondike gold fields. The combination of motor coach and railway shows tourists the beauty of this area from two different perspectives http:// One can click to grab this map and drag it up and down to see the entire route. http:// 翠綠高雅 碧波蕩漾 的翡翠湖。 Emerald Lake along the Klondike Highway about 15 Km north of Carcross in Yukon.

The Alaska gold rush happened only 31 years after Russia sold Alaska to USA for 1.9¢ per acre on October 18, 1867. Lake Bennett at Carcross in Yukon. During the Klondike Gold Rush, Lake Bennett was where the gold-seekers who had crossed the Coastal Mountains from Skagway or Dyea, carrying their goods over the Chilkoot Trail or the White Pass Summit, then purchased or built rafts or boats here to float down the Yukon River to reach the gold fields at Dawson City, Yukon, Canada. A large tent city sprang up on the shores of Lake Bennett, numbering in the thousands and offering all the services of a major city. In late May 1898, the North West Mounted Police counted 778 boats under construction at Lindeman Lake, 850 in Bennett and the surrounding area, and another 198 at Caribou Crossing (now Carcross) and Tagish Lake to help transport thousands of goldfield-bound travellers. It was further estimated that another 1,200 boats were built in these areas over the next few weeks.

The Klondike Gold Rush, sometimes referred to as the Yukon Gold Rush or Alaska Gold Rush, was a frenzy of gold rush immigration to and for gold prospecting, along the Klondike River near Dawson City, Yukon, Canada after gold was discovered there in the late 19th century. This is the marker of the Dead Horse Gulch as viewed from the train. A view of the Dead Horse Gulch along the railroad. It is a deep ravine where more than 3,000 horses died and were pushed down into this Gulch in 1898. During the gold rush period in 1898, tens of thousands of stampeders made their way to the Yukon River at Whitehorse for the final leg of their journey to Dawson City. Stampeders had to carry a year's supply of goods — about a ton, more than half of it food — along this Trail of 98 over the passes to be allowed to enter Canada. Those gold rush stampeders worked their horses on this trail so hard, essentially worked those horses to death.

晨霧彌漫，眼前一遍迷濛，景色變幻莫測。 Our motor coach started at sea level at Skagway harbor and climbed up to the White Pass Summit at an elevation of 2,865 feet along the Klondike Highway. It was very foggy here in the morning. 早晨的露珠，晶瑩如玉，清脆欲滴，含着晶瑩露珠的淡紫野花襯著綠 葉，潤花潤草潤心靈，煞是美麗。 The air humidity here at White Pass Summit in the morning was practically 100% and the roadside grass and flowers had lots of dew. More mountains along our tour route. 一路行來，所見的湖泊都是那麼的純淨。一幅幅絕美景色，應接不暇，令人舒暢，令人 陶醉不已。 Pristine blue glacial lakes around every corner, decorated by the odd islet and presenting really gorgeous views. We were essentially treated to a running video of spectacular scenery of majestic mountains and beautiful lakes. It is a photographer's dream trip.

追逐嬉戲， 有時高飛，有時低掠。 We enjoyed a tasty chicken barbecue lunch at Caribou Crossing Trading Post which is only a short distance north of Carcross. We also visited the Wildlife Gallery and saw interesting exhibits of wildlife native to the region. More information about Caribou Crossing Trading Post is available at the following website: http:// Several ravens were flying around in that area. Two ravens were very playful and were doing fantastic synchronized twin flight to play with each other. I took a movie clip of these two playful ravens in action as shown at the following YouTube website: 火車行駛在群山幽壑，搖搖晃晃，不時迴盪在山間的汽笛聲，讓我們穿越時空，回到了古 時代的鄉間，如夢如幻。 The train as viewed from our motor coach on Klondike Highway in the morning. The train track and the Klondike Highway are on opposite sides of the Dead Horse Gulch. We enjoyed breathtaking panorama of mountains, glaciers, lakes, gorges, waterfalls, rivers, tunnels, trestles, cliff-hanging turns and historic sites.

In the afternoon, our train was descending from White Pass Summit down towards Skagway ahead. Coastal mountains near Skagway The Pullen Creek is next to the Skagway train station at the southern end of downtown Skagway. When we finished the 8-hour tour and got off the train at the Skagway train station, many tourists were watching salmon run in this Pullen Creek as shown in these three photos. The following map shows the Pullen Creek at southern part of downtown Skagway near harbor. I took two movie clips of the action of many big salmon in Pullen Creek as shown at the following two YouTube websites: Pullen Creek and the train station are only about 10-minute walking distance from Skagway harbor where Sapphire Princess Cruise ship was docked. So, after watching the big salmon run in Pullen Creek, many tourists just walked leisurely back to Sapphire Princess even though the tour motor coach was waiting for us at the train station to take us back to Sapphire Princess. The 8-hour tour into Yukon that I took is just one of several Excursion Tours available at Skagway. Other friends who took other excursion tours at Skagway were also very happy with their choices.

For example, one of the options is to tour the Valley of Eagles where one can see many bald eagles and other wildlife in action. The Chilkat Valley is year-round home for between 200 and 400 eagles. Over 3,000 bald eagles have been counted within the preserve during the Fall Congregation.

It is at my Travelogue web pages at: http:// The railroad and the bridge crossing Lake Bennett into the village of Carcross. The original name for Carcross village was Caribou Crossing. However, there were five different villages with the same name of Caribou Crossing causing a lot of confusion in postal delivery service. Those five villages were forced to change their names. So, this village becomes Carcross, a quaint historic town at the edge of Lake Bennett, which has a gold rush general store and other visitor amenities, and an unusual patch of desert. Carcross was the site of the driving of the golden spike completing the railroad on July 29, 1900.

The sub-arctic alpine tundra of moose flat with many lakes - a virtual “moonscape” like valley of rocks in the Tormented Valley in British Columbia. It is so named because of its harsh volcanic rocky desolate terrain carved by retreating ancient glaciers. At 3292 feet of elevation, this lunar-looking area boasts 300 year old stunted juniper and dwarfed spruces that are only 2 or 3 foot tall. After lunch, our motor coach was crossing railway track here at Fraser Train Station in British Columbia where we changed from motor coach to the train for our return trip in the afternoon.

In many ways, the Danube "is more than a river”.

Europe's second-longest river (after the Volga), the Danube simultaneously unites, defines and divides Central Europe. It rises in Germany, then crosses Austria (it waters Vienna), Slovakia (it waters Bratislava) and Hungary (it crosses Budapest). It then forms the Serbo-Croatian border, crosses Serbia and waters Belgrade. The river then forms the border between Romania (North) and Bulgaria (South). It then enters Romania, forms a part of the border with Ukraine before entering the Black Sea through a large swampy delta which is an important natural reserve. THE MISSISSIPPI THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER The Mississippi River is the largest river system in the United States and the largest of North America. About 2,320 miles (3,730 km) long, the river originates at Lake Itasca, Minnesota and flows slowly southwards in sweeping meanders, terminating 95 river miles below New Orleans, Louisiana where it begins to flow to the Gulf of Mexico. Along with its major tributary, the Missouri River, the river drains all or parts of 31 U.S. states stretching from the Rocky Mountains in the west to the Appalachian Mountains in the east to the Canada-U.S.

border on the north, including most of the Great Plains, and is the fourth longest river in the world and the tenth most powerful river in the world. MISSISSIPPI RIVER ROUTE BRIEFING I've found that flying the Mississippi River can be hard to find from its start of the headwaters which appears to be on the north edge of Grand Rapids, Minnesota. My experience: it is just a small stream and hard to follow from the air. But do not despair as further south it starts to broaden and grow to become much easier to tag on. Brainerd or St. Cloud gives you a pretty good visual of the river. I normally fly at 1500' to 2000' MSL to pick out the scenery. My fondness of flying the DeHavilland DHC-2 Beaver has made it a fun trip although as of this briefing I have not completed it 100% but I am working on it. Rather than give names of airfields I decided to add the names of the nearest towns to help as a reference if one should become lost (I did). I think a good road map or atlas would be helpful in some instances so that was the basis of my decision.

Also I've added the Heading Degrees to assist you in flying from one town/city to another in case you get low on fuel or tired of following the winding river. Please feel free to send myself or Yoland any comments, suggestions, questions or corrections. We would enjoy hearing from yo u. Steve Sellmayer SPA 218 AMAZON The Amazon river Facts and figures From Peru to the Atlantic Ocean, the Amazon River is 6’280 km long… Sorry I meant about 3’730 miles or about 3’400 nm. The Amazon River is the world's second longest river. Only the Nile, in Africa, is longer. The Amazon however, at any one point in time has the highest amount of water flowing down it. No other river even comes close. It may not be the longest, but it is the widest. The Amazon produces approximately 20 percent of all the water that the world's rivers pour into the oceans on its own. The Amazon collects water from just over 40 percent of South America's Landmass, through the thousands of tributaries that join the main branch of the Amazon river.

Of these tributaries, 17 are over 1’600kilometres (1’000 miles) long. From Iquitos in Peru all the way across Brazil to the Atlantic, the Amazon is between six and ten kilometres wide. The first European found the amazon because he was 200 miles out to sea and noticed that he was sailing in fresh water. He turned toward shore and found the “Amazon river”. Ships still today anchor in the outflow of the Amazon, to remove the marine life (barnacles) attached to their hulls (salt water organisms can't live in fresh water). When you will fly the 29 legs so as to complete the entire AMAZON VFR RAID, be aware that all distances on the schedule are measured straight line… Nevertheless I recommend to following the river and, if you look at the picture on the left, you might well figure out that it could take a much longer time than what is indicated on the schedule… but it’s more fun. Do as you feel! Please when you have completed all the 29 legs of the AMAZON TOUR, send me a mail so that I can put your name on the future “Amazon Hall of Fame”.

To have more information about the Amazon, please visit: Mackenzie River The Mackenzie River The Mackenzie River system, 4241 km long (to head of the Finlay River), is the second largest in North America (after the Mississippi River). Its total drainage basin of 1.8 million km2 is the largest of any river in Canada and its mean discharge of 9700 m3/s is second only to that of the St Lawrence. The river's peak discharge occurs in June, but its flow is generally uniform because of the flat Barren Lands east of the river and the many large lakes in the system. The lakes and rivers of the Mackenzie and its tributaries are open from mid-June to the beginning of November in the northerly areas. The river's sparsely populated basin is one of the few great unspoiled areas of the world. The main headwaters are the Peace River and the Athabasca River, while the main stream (1738 km) issues from the shallow swamps and mud banks of the West Arm of Great Slave Lake. It flows west to Fort Providence, where scows, canoes and York Boats were hauled upstream.

At Fort Simpson the Liard River reaches the south bank of the Mackenzie, which receives its muddy waters. Near the North Nahanni River the Mackenzie trends west-northwest through a rolling plain and deflects north past an escarpment of the Mackenzie Mountains, which lie parallel to the river. The Redstone and Keele rivers and other streams cut through the mountains and pour into the lowlands through deep canyons. Flightplan YUKON The Yukon River The Yukon River is a major watercourse of northwestern North America. The source of the river is located in British Columbia, Canada. The next portion lies in, and gives its name to Canada's Yukon Territory. Then, more than the lower half of the river lies in the U.S. state of Alaska. The river is 3,185 km (1,980 mi) long and empties into the Bering Sea at the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta. The average flow is 6,430 m�/s (227,000 ft�/s).

The total drainage area is 832,700 km� (321,500 mi�) of which 323,800 km� (126,300 mi�) is in Canada. By comparison, the total area is more than 25% larger than Texas or Alberta. The longest river in Alaska and the Yukon Territory, it was one of the principal means of transportation during the 1896–1903 Klondike Gold Rush. Paddle-wheel riverboats continued to ply the river until the 1950s, when the Klondike Highway was completed. After the purchase of Alaska by the United States in 1867, the Alaska Commercial Company acquired the assets of the Russian-American Company and constructed several posts at various locations on the Yukon River. Yukon means "great river" in Gwich'in .

Despite its length, there are only four vehicle-carrying bridges across the river: The Lewes Bridge, north of Marsh Lake on the Alaska Highway; The Robert Campbell Bridge, which connects the Whitehorse suburb of Riverdale to the downtown area, The Yukon River Bridge in Carmacks, on the Klondike Highway; and The E. L. Patton Yukon River Bridge, north of Fairbanks on the Dalton Highway. A car ferry crosses the river at Dawson City in the summer; it is replaced by an ice bridge over the frozen river during the winter. Plans to build a permanent bridge were announced in March 2004, although they are currently on hold because bids came in much higher than budgeted. There are also 2 pedestrian-only bridges in Whitehorse, as well as a dam across the river and a hydroelectric generating station. The construction of the dam flooded the White Horse Rapids, which gave the city its name, and created Schwatka Lake. Flightplan THE NILE The Nile River The Nile is a major north-flowing river in Africa, generally regarded as the longest river in the world.

The Nile has two major tributaries, the White Nile and Blue Nile, the latter being the source of most of the Nile's water and fertile soil, but the former being the longer of the two. The White Nile rises in the Great Lakes region of central Africa, with the most distant source in Southern Rwanda and flows north from there through Tanzania, Lake Victoria, Uganda and southern Sudan, while the Blue Nile starts at Lake Tana in Ethiopia, flowing into Sudan from the southeast. The two rivers meet near the Sudanese capital of Khartoum. The northern section of the river flows almost entirely through desert, from Sudan into Egypt, a country whose civilization has depended on the river since ancient times. Most of the population and cities of Egypt lie along those parts of the Nile valley north of Aswan, and nearly all the cultural and historical sites of Ancient Egypt are found along the banks of the river. The Nile ends in a large delta that empties into the Mediterranean Sea. For our flights, we will follow the White Nile from Lake Victoria going all the way North to its delta in Egypt.

Flightplan GANGES & BRAHMAPUTRA The Ganges & Brahmaputra Sacred Rivers of India The Ganges is the largest river of the Indian subcontinent, flowing east through the Gangetic Plain of northern India into Bangladesh. The 2,510 km (1,560 mi) river rises in the western Himalayas in the Uttarakhand. It has long been considered the holiest of all rivers by Hindus and worshiped as the goddess Ganga in Hinduism. It has also been important historically: many former provincial or imperial capitals (such as Patliputra, Kannauj, Kara, Allahabad, Murshidabad, Berhampore and Calcutta) have been located on its banks. The Ganges Basin drains 1,000,000-square-kilometre (390,000 sq mi) and supports one of the world's highest density of humans. The average depth of the river is 52 feet (16 m), and the maximum depth, 100 feet (30 m).

The river has been declared as India's National River.The many symbolic meanings of the river on the Indian subcontinent were spoken to in 1946 by Jawaharlal Nehru in his Discovery of India. The Ganges, above all is the river of India, which has held India's heart captive and drawn uncounted millions to her banks since the dawn of history. The story of the Ganges, from her source to the sea, from old times to new, is the story of India's civilization and culture, of the rise and fall of empires, of great and proud cities, of adventures of man… The Brahmaputra, also called Tsangpo-Brahmaputra, is a trans-boundary river and one of the major rivers of Asia. From its origin in southwestern Tibet as the Yarlung Tsangpo River, it flows across southern Tibet to break through the Himalayas in great gorges and into Arunachal Pradesh (India) where it is known as Dihang . It flows southwest through the Assam Valley as Brahmaputra and south through Bangladesh as the Jamuna (not to be mistaken with Yamuna of India).

There it merges with the Ganges to form a vast delta, the Sunderbans . About 1,800 miles (2,900 km) long, the river is an important source for irrigation and transportation. Its upper course was long unknown, and its identity with the Yarlung Tsangpo was only established by exploration in 1884-86. The Brahmaputra is navigable for most of its length. The lower part reaches are sacred to Hindus. The river is prone to catastrophic flooding in spring when the Himalayan snows melt. It is also one of the few rivers in the world that exhibit a tidal bore. More information at: COLORADO The Colorado River - USA The Colorado River is the primary river of the American Southwest, draining somewhere in the vicinity of 242,000 square miles of land, from the states of Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada and California. The Green River is the primary tributary of the Colorado River, and until 1921 the Colorado River did not technically begin until the Grand and Green Rivers joined together in Utah.

In that year the Grand River was renamed as the Colorado River, at the request of the State of Colorado. The headwaters of the Colorado River are located in Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado. From here, at an altitude of 9,010 feet, the Colorado begins it's flow southwestward toward the Gulf o f California and the Pacific Ocean. By the time the river enters the Grand Canyon, at Lee's Ferry, its altitude has fallen to 3,110 feet, dropping over one mile since its beginning. The river will drop another 2,200 feet before it reaches the other end of the Grand Canyon, the Grand Wash Cliffs, 277 miles away. The river contains alternating sections of rapids and calm sections. The depth of the river varies from 6 feet to 90 feet, with the average being about 20 feet. The rapids are the shallow sections and the calm sections tend to be the deepest parts. Some deep holes have also formed at the base or foot of some of the more major rapids. The rapids represent only 10 percent of the river's total length through the Grand Canyon, but are responsible for more than half of the total drop in altitude.

The Colorado River was originally named Rio Colorado or "Red River" by the Spanish. A person looking at the river today may not understand how it came to be named in this way, as the present day colour of the river is more of a blue-green. The reddish-brown colour that originally gave the river its name become a rarity upon completion of the Glen Canyon Dam in 1963. The silt and sediments that gave the river its colour are now trapped behind the dam in the bottom of Lake Powell. More info at: PARANA RIVER & IGUAZU FALLS Paran� River - Brazil, Paraguay, Argentina The Paran� River (Spanish: R�o Paran�, Portuguese: Rio Paran�) is a river in south Central South America, running through Brazil, Paraguay and Argentina for some 4,880 kilometres (3,030 mi). It is second in length only to the Amazon River among South American rivers. The name Paran� is an abbreviation of the phrase "para rehe on�va", which comes from the Tupi language and means "like the sea" (that is, "as big as the sea").

It merges first with the Paraguay River and then farther downstream with the Uruguay River to form the R�o de la Plata and empties into the Atlantic Ocean. The Rio Paran� along with its tributaries creates a massive watershed that spreads throughout much of the south central part of the continent, essentially encompassing all of Paraguay, much of southern Brazil, northern Argentina, and even reaching into Bolivia. If the Uruguay River is counted as a tributary to the Paran�, this watershed extends to cover much of Uruguay as well. The volume of water flowing into the Atlantic Ocean through the R�o de la Plata is roughly equal to the volume at the Mississippi River delta. This watershed services a number of large cities, including S�o Paulo, Buenos Aires, Asunci�n and Bras�lia. The Paran� and its tributaries are a source of income and even daily sustenance for a number of fishermen who live along its banks; some fish species (such as the surub� and the s�balo) are commercially important and exploited for massive internal consumption or for export.

Much of the length of the Paran� is navigable and is used as an important waterway linking inland cities in Argentina and Paraguay to the ocean, providing deep water ports in many of these cities. The construction of massive hydroelectric dams along the river's length has blocked its use as a shipping corridor to cities further upstream, but the economic impact of those dams is considered to offset this. The Yacyret� and Itaipu dams on the Paraguay border have made the small, largely undeveloped nation the world's largest exporter of hydroelectric power. The Itaipu dam is 195ft high and is 57km long.

Katharine Miller, a Research Fisheries Biologist with the AFSC's Recruitment Energetics and Coastal Assessment program, reports on her second year of field work. Her work focuses primarily on estuarine ecosystems. Part 1: The River – June 9, 2015 The lower Yukon River near the village of Emmonak (left) and (right) the lower Yukon River channels and ponds. Photos by Katharine Miller, NOAA Fisheries. My first view of the Yukon Delta from a small prop-plane was inspirational.

Nothing I had read or seen in pictures had prepared me for how vast and complex the Yukon Delta really is. Looking down on it from above, it is an intricate landscape of ponds, sloughs, small water courses and larger river channels. A very challenging environment in which to try to catch salmon that are less than 4 inches long! But that was our task: to collect juvenile Chinook salmon so we can study them as they make their journey from their freshwater Yukon home to the sea. The Yukon River is over 3,000 miles long. It originates in British Columbia, Canada and ends in the cold waters of the Bering Sea off Alaska. Every year, adult Chinook, coho and chum salmon return from the sea and make their way up the Yukon tributaries to the spawning grounds. For the Chinook salmon, which spawn close to the headwaters, this annual journey is one of the longest fish migrations in the world. In order to make such a long journey, the salmon need to store up fat reserves at sea before entering the river. These fat reserves, which can account for up to 30 percent of the fish’s muscle weight, give Yukon Chinook salmon their distinctive flavor.

With returns once numbering around 300,000 fish per year, these fatty fish were once the mainstay of subsistence communities and commercial fisheries all along the river. However, things have changed and far fewer fish are returning to the Yukon River to spawn. In 2012, the U.S. Department of Commerce issued a disaster declaration for Chinook salmon fisheries on the Yukon and Kuskokwim rivers, and there have been closures and restrictions on commercial and subsistence fisheries in the last few years. After hatching from the spawning beds or redds, juvenile Chinook salmon spend up to 2 years living and feeding in the river and its streams before beginning their migration out to sea. The transition between freshwater and marine environments is a crucial period in which predation and growth strongly affect winter marine survival and the ability to grow to adulthood and return to the river to spawn – a process known as recruitment. There are many factors that could be influencing the decline in salmon returns. One factor might be a mismatch between the timing of the juvenile fish outmigration with the availability of food. This is one of the hypotheses that our research is investigating.

Satellite image from February 5, 2015 of the frozen Yukon River and adjacent sea ice (left) and a March 5, 2015 image of the ice-free river (right) (NASA Worldview) During winter, the Yukon River is frozen, and ice also covers much of Norton Sound off the Yukon Delta. Open areas of marine water, called leads, occur as the ice breaks up. The average date for the ice to leave the lower Yukon River in the vicinity of the village of Alakanuk is May 23, but in 2014 during the first year of this study, the ice was gone by May 5th! This year, the ice left on May 19th. Even after the ice is out of the river, ice can linger for a while along the shore and in Norton Sound. Image of the Yukon River from space showing the large, muddy plume of freshwater extending into the sea (NASA Earth Observatory) We cannot effectively sample under the ice, especially when it is starting to move, so our research in 2014 and 2015 begins in May just after the ice is gone.

Most of the Alaska portion of the Yukon River flows through the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta: a large alluvial plain of sediment that has been deposited by the Yukon and Kuskokwim Rivers over long periods of time. At its lower end, the Yukon River branches into three main tributaries. With help from fishermen from the lower Yukon villages of Emmonak and Alakanuk, we have set up sampling stations on each of the tributaries to catch fish from May through July. The second part of our research occurs approximately 10 miles offshore of the Yukon Delta. The Yukon is the third largest river in the United States in terms of the amount of freshwater flow. There is so much muddy freshwater flowing out of the river that the river plume can be seen from satellites in space. At the edge of this freshwater plume, the juvenile salmon will transition from a freshwater fish to a marine fish. By studying the fish all along their journey to the sea, we can learn about how they grow and change as they prepare for life in the ocean.

(fr) Der Yukon River (französisch Fleuve Yukon) ist ein Strom, der in der kanadischen Provinz British Columbia entspringt und danach das für ihn namensgebende Territorium Yukon durchfließt, bevor er im US-Bundesstaat Alaska in das Beringmeer mündet. Auf Grund seiner Größe und seiner Bedeutung wurde der Fluss von den meisten in seinem Flusssystem lebenden indigenen Völkern zumeist als „Großer Fluss“ oder „Großer, weiter Fluss“ bezeichnet. Daher ist der Name Yukon nur eine Anglisierung des Gwich'in-Wortes Yu-kun-ah („Großer Fluss“). Benachbarte First Nations - wie die Koyukon oder Deg Hit'an - nannten ihn ebenfalls Yookkene („Großer, weiter Fluss“) oder Yukkhane („Großer Fluss“). (de) El río Yukón (en inglés: Yukon River) es un largo e importante río del noroeste de Norteamérica, que discurre por Estados Unidos y Canadá.

Tiene una longitud de 3.185 km y forma una gran cuenca de 854.000 km² (mayor que países como Namibia, Pakistán y Mozambique). Sus aguas las vierte en el mar de Bering, formando un delta en forma de abanico casi semicircular, con un brazo de mayor tamaño y unos cuantos mucho menores. La anchura de su cauce es bastante variable, entre un kilómetro y más de tres durante los últimos 1.000 km de su curso. Antes de abrirse para formar el delta en la bahía de Norton, su anchura es de casi dos kilómetros y medio. La mitad del curso del río transcurre por Alaska (Estados Unidos), y el resto por el Territorio del Yukón, el territorio canadiense al que da nombre. Es el río más largo de Alaska y fue uno de los principales medios de transporte durante la fiebre del oro del Klondike, entre 1898 y 1899. Yukón, en gwich'in, significa «gran río».

El río se llama Kwiguk, o gran corriente en yupik. Antiguamente, se conocía como río Lewes al curso superior del Yukón, desde el lago Marsh hasta la confluencia del río Pelly en Fort Selkirk. El tramo canadiense conocido como «The Thirty Mile», desde el lago Laberge hasta la confluencia del río Teslin, de aproximadamente 48 km, fue declarado en 1991 integrante del Sistema de ríos del patrimonio canadiense.
